GDT: Season opener: Ducks vs Coyotes - Thu 7 PM PT

[Sojourn]

The lineup tonight might be one of the worst opening day lineups I've seen.

Its crazy how many injuries there are. I know there have been complaints in the past about RC's camps so I hope he didn't beat them into their injuries.

I'm sure some will suggest that, but we already know why Lindholm, Kesler, and Vatanen are out. Eaves is made of glass. Miller is 37. Getzlaf is possible, but he always seems to be nursing some nagging injury during the season, and they may just want to take the opportunity to get him healed up as much as possible now, since it may not be possible later.

 

[ducks8]

Yeah, I have negative expectations for tonight.

 

[Dryish]

What I find amusing is that I'll go to sleep expecting the worse of even worse than that and will still find myself angry and disappointed in the morning. Sports fandom is one hell of a drug.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Well the lineup is pathetic but I'm still stoked for the game. Pumped for some Ducks hockey.

 

[rollingdux]

So much negativity. Relax. There's a lot of hockey in front of us. It's the start of a new season, new blood.

 

[dracom]

I'll be happy if we score one goal tonight.

 

[ducks8]

Just no injuries, looking at you Gibson

 

[IDuck]

how the hell does getzlaf already have a LBI?....either way, find a way ducks...2 points now are the same as in april.

Shocking another year of reading a fan base complaining about the enforcer and whomever is the toughest dman on the team. Very original exactly like the Detroit /Montreal fans

 

[ducks8]

Glad Boll isn't in. He's garbage and brings nothing to this team.

Who's dissing Manson exactly? Unless you think Bieksa is our toughest dman, he can fight sure but he isn't tougher than Manson. Also we have a better enforcer in San Diego who can actually play hockey and contribute, something Boll is incapable of doing.

 

[la patineuse]

It's empty in here. Maybe Ducks fans thought with this line up it's still the preseason

 

[la patineuse]

Eric Stephens says Boll is in and Fiore is out.

[DarthYenik]

Eric knows what’s up.

 

[All Mighty]

Fiore gets his parents to fly across the continent to watch him sit in the pressbox

 

[McDonald19]

Does Eric visit hfboards?

 

[McDonald19]

Fiore gets his parents to fly across the continent to watch him sit in the pressbox

Yeah, maybe he plays Saturday vs. Flyers and they can stick around.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Feel bad for his parents, last minute plane ride just to find out he's scratched so Boll can play 5 minutes and lose a fight.

 

[gilfaizon]

those lines are yuckkk

 

[Exit Dose]

What a joke of a lineup.

 

[McDonald19]

Feel bad for his parents, last minute plane ride just to find out he's scratched so Boll can play 5 minutes and lose a fight.

Don't even think the Coyotes have a fighter for Boll to punch.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Don't even think the Coyotes have a fighter for Boll to punch.

He's gonna get Domi back for Kesler

Seriously, why call up Fiore then sit him so Kase can play with Boll?

 

[McDonald19]

Four assistant coaches huh?

 

[All Mighty]

Jesus look at all that talent (and money) lined up in suits
